I made a quilt!

Well, I made it a while ago, but here is the final product. The front is made from Ava's receiving blankets from when she was a baby, and the back is some crib sheets I pieced together. It is really no great example of terrific sewing, or quilting, for that matter, but I was happy to make it for my sweetie pie. Of course, the first thing Aidan said was, "Where's MY quilt?!" so I am already planning a superhero one next.
You can see the back better here:

My "little helper" pulling it off of the crib... thanks a lot!

There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is Allah's Messenger

I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger.

Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers (salath), to pay the charity (zakat), to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so

Islam teaches us that this life is a life of worship. We are placed on this earth in order to worship Allah and obey His command. During this earthly life we are subjected to a series of trials. We have the option of enduring these trials and conforming to certain laws, and our reward will be great in the next life, or we may decline to endure these trials and choose to not conform to the law, then we will be made to regret it in the next life.

Each person will be solely and completely responsible for their own final reward. Allah has guided us to make this life a better, safer, and more tolerable one for us. If we elect to conform to them then we will see the result in this life even before moving on to the next.

So do believe in Allah, do believe in His angels, do believe in His Books (Scriptures), do believe in His Messengers, do believe in the Day of Judgment and do believe in the Divine Decree (Divine fate) whether good or evil

Allah created us, and we know that we should only worship Him. This is an instinct Allah has created us with. He did not just leave us, rather He sent prophets for us. These prophets had miracles as proof. The miracle for us today is the Quran. There is no other religion that worships only Allah, and believes in Him as totally perfect, and believes in all of His prophets i.e. JESUS, MOSES, NOAH, ABRAHAM,MUHAMMAD and the holy scriptures

I was just about to delete the "utter truth" comment, but decided to keep it at the last moment.

I guess Muslims just love quilting.

As everyone recalls from the Koran 20.18: "He said: This is my quilt: I recline on it and I beat the batting with it to make them fall upon my sheep, and I have other uses for it, like sleeping"

There is no quilter but Allah, and Muhammad is the seamstress of Allah.
